About this map

The Old Indian Treaty Boundary cuts diagonally through this portion of Clarke County, providing a tangible line of historical demarcation across a landscape of winding creeks and rural settlements. In the early 1970s, the community of Suggsville sat central to this network, while to the west, the Southern railroad line served Allen (Suggsville Sta) along the banks of Bassett Creek.

Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous country churches and burial sites, including Poyner Chapel Cem, Mt Horeb Ch, and St Peters Ch. The landscape shows a mix of traditional agriculture and emerging industry, evidenced by a lone Oil Well near Cedar Creek. Further south, the settlement of Manila marks a point of interest near the southern edge of the survey, where the terrain is heavily dissected by drainages like Smith Creek and Barns Mill Branch.
